Quai d'Orsay is a brand designed specifically for the French market. Created in the 1970s, it takes its name from the famous quays along the Seine in Paris. All its vitolas, which are designed to be light, are made from a combination of leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region and dressed in Claro (wax) or Colorado Claro (light brown) capes. All are Totalmento a Mano, Trip Larga (entirely handmade, long filler).
Product Detail
The Quai d'Orsay Corona was available in two versions, Coronas Claro and Coronas Claro Claro. The name behind ‘Coronas’ refers to the colour of the packaging, which in the first case means Colorado Claro (chestnut brown) and in the second case ‘Clarissimo’, which means almost green. However, the second version has disappeared over time. The Quai d'Orsay Corona Claro pampers smokers with pleasant cocoa flavours, combined with woody notes and earthy tones. It is exceptionally mild for a Cuban cigar, making it ideal for beginners.

Description
Brand Story
Calvados Domfrontais is produced from pears as well as cider apples. This is a centuries old tradition in the Domfront region and sets it apart from its neighbours. Over the years, Domfrontais producers have strived to have this regional characteristic recognised and regulated by the French authorities. Count Louis de Lauriston played an important role in this process and succeeded in 1997, when Calvados Domfrontais was awarded AOC status. Count Louis de Lauriston died only months before and did not live to see his efforts crowned with success.
Product Detail
Comte Louis de Lauriston Hors D'Age Calvados has lovely notes of candied fruit, vanilla and spices. Aged in small casks that are used several times, it acquires its beautiful amber colour and benefits from even ageing. It also gains in finesse and aromatic length. Its high pear content gives it a typical floral-fruity character. What's more, its minerality gives it the distinctive character that sets Domfrontais apart from other Calvados appellations. The name of the drink comes from its protected designation of origin, the department of Calvados. Only apple or pear brandies from a region of eleven precisely defined wine-growing areas in Normandy can be called Calvados.
